A comparison of watch designs

Remember my video on watch bands? I intended to create a guide to watch designs and I got around to it last week. This video’s even longer than the last one; it’s almost 30 minutes! Get a cup of tea, sit down and get comfortable, because it’s going to take a bit of time to get through it!

Let me sum up my thoughts on watch design:

Elegant, classy

Simple, fulfilling its purpose as a watch, which is to tell the time and the date

Refined features that hint at the intricacies inside the case without flaunting them

Easy to use, easy to read: proper color contrast in the lettering and numbering

A joy to look at, makes you fall in love with it every time you see it

Sturdy, quality-built, lasts a long time (a lifetime even)

Watch the video for the rest of my thoughts and I hope you enjoy it and it’s of use to you!
